i really like temptalia too (haven't seen her vid's but her website definitely). it makes me fuzzy inside to see how far she's come. i remember when she just used to post her FOTD pics in a few comms. even back then she was the first to get a lot of MAC products and let everyone know how they are - it was seeing her pics that convinced me to buy studio fix fluid just after it had come out!
i've been trying to find one of her old looks recently, she did a really dark black smokey eye with gloss over the lid to make it look wet.
i have that exact black smokey eye page saved :D. that's where i learned smokey eye from. She definitely did a fabulous job. if you can't find it on her website just type the tutorial name in google and it'll appear.
